    Complete Marine Yamaha-Bayliner-Vexus-Caymas dealer located by Phoenix sky harbor on 46th Street and University in Phoenix, Az
    Sam G.

    Long time established local marine dealer with ample inventory, friendly staff and an extensive collective knowledge on everything Marine. A one stop shop for Boat Sales, Service and Maintenance Parts (as well as boat accessories, both for upgrades and for on the water) Serving Arizona since 1975

    The image depicts a close-up of a mechanical assembly, likely part of an engine or industrial machinery. Visible are bolts, wiring, and metal parts, with some black painted components and a metallic bracket. The background includes dirt and a flexible, ribbed hose, indicating the component is installed in an environment with dirt or dust. The focus is on the mechanical details and assembly structure.

    Out thousands of dollars with poor basic mechanic work, no safety checks, and now needing a new engine for a yamaha sx230 HO with a couple hundred hours on it. Brought the boat to Complete marine. Spark plug was stuck in #3 cylinder head, as owner/I tried to drill it out. Long story short this happens if you check jet boater forums. Head could not take a sert insert so the engine needed a new head. Service: 1. New head, 2.Grease intermediate bearing,3. New spark plugs, w/Oil change Provided 3rd party new head as Yamaha didn't have part available. "supposedly" completed the work. Getting the boat back and opened up the hatch on the driveway to only notice the bilge pump harness over the engine required to disconnect for engine removal wasn't reconnected. Disaster 1 avoided. 1. I put the boat in the water to test, and drove it for 25 min, to have the engine stop, to only realize that the oil was 4 inches above the absolute full line, half the screws were missing from the airbox, consequently over pressuring the system causing the throttle bodies to split out oil and coating the airfilter. The oil was black like the original oil was still in the engine and someone threw more new oil into the engine. Keep in mind the entire engine was removed to do a full oil change. Pumped out the excessive oil in containers on the lake, and limped back with 1 engine. 2. 2nd time the boat went to the shop. Informed of the screws missing. They said the bilge pump harness was not their deal, as they don't check after an engine is installed "extra stuff". Great so not checking if the engine runs, oil levels, and safety items. Perfect that sounds safe. I asked him to clean the throttle bodies, pull out the plugs as they might be fouled and put new air filters in it and run the engine. I also asked if the tech spent 5 min with a feeler gauge to check the lifter spacing on the head when they installed it to insure it didn't get knocked around during shipment. Apparently nope that isn't there scope to follow instructions on the box. You can't ignore basic mechanical instruction and just bolt in. Checking takes 5 min. 3. Picked up boat again. Started engine within 100 yards from the marina... engine bottom blows out at 5K rpm. 4. Called many times... no call back. Called the owner, John. He had to review. 2 weeks later John said he wouldn't even refund an oil change or do any reparations(whatever that means), and it is what it is. Here are the basic items I would say they did wrong. 1. Checking basic safety items, like bilge pump so the boat doesn't sink. Would thought if they disconnected something they would verify it is reconnected. Thankfully I noticed the issue before it was on the water or maybe basic safety check on any boat? 2. Checking oil levels so you don't over pressurize the engine. I didn't know after I got it back I should have had a 2nd technician verify a basic oil change. Who even knows if they greased the bearings on the intermediate. This the reason the engine blew. you can't have 2-3 extra quarts of oil in engine run it and be ok. Having a new head is not how an engine blows. 3. Ignoring basic instructions on a new head. Doesn't matter if it is 3rd party or not, you still have to check items that take 5 min, use torque wrenches per yamaha service manual. This is mechanics 101. 4. Lastly after there is a verified oil mistake, probably if they did another oil change, removed plugs, cleaned throttle bodies, new air filter, and checked the cylinder pressures to ensure there wouldn't be catastrophic damage would be a start. 5. Returning a boat with missing screws. If there wasn't an overfilled oil issue I probably wouldn't have noticed the missing screws. They asked me how I got the top of the filter box off on the lake. It is easy when you don't install screws back. I would avoid with any inboard engine or a jet boat that engine that requires specific oil changing techniques in the manual, or anything beyond. Thankfully the boat didn't sink, and I will not pay $16K+ through them for another engine.

    Outstanding customer service!! Worked with Layne. I saw a Sea Ray 190 CC that I was very interested in. He made up several quick videos & sent them to me. Drove all the way from Sacramento. The boat was exactly as he said. Mint condition!! Life jackets, fire extinguisher & other items thrown in free. Boat detailed. New tires put on the trailer with bearing packed. Awesome deal & great customer service.

    I'll be calling corporate office to report the horrible service. Back to car lot for you. - A black speedboat with green and gray accents is mounted on a trailer in an outdoor parking area. The boat features a canopy and a windshield, with a control panel visible. The background includes trees, a lake, and distant hills under a partly cloudy sky. The parking lot has marked spaces and appears to be near a waterfront location.

    Kim and I bought our boat from Dallas last year. Dallas was very accommodating to all of my wife's…read moredesign ideas and did a great job of putting our boat together exactly as we wanted it. We were fortunate enough to find Dallas and his "marina" just as he had finished stripping a used pontoon down to the frame and pontoons. He cleaned, sealed and painted the pontoons and frame and built the boat from the frame up exactly as we specified. If you cruise Lake 1 at The Islands in Gilbert, you'll find that a huge percentage of the boats here are Boatman Boats. Cruising the lake and running into our neighbors, we have not heard a single complaint about Dallas or Boatman Boats!

    I normally don't post reviews like this, but after what I've been through, I feel a responsibility…read moreto warn others. I purchased a boat from him based on his clear statements that the boat was in good condition and included a 1-year warranty. Those statements turned out to be completely unreliable. In less than 6 months, the motor failed. I contacted him immediately and gave him more than enough time -- over 2 months -- to honor his warranty and fix the issue. Instead, I received nothing but repeated delays and empty promises: * "Next week" * "I'll come check it" * "I'll take care of it" None of it ever happened. At this point, it is hard to see this as anything other than a consistent pattern of avoiding responsibility. Once the sale is completed, follow-through appears to be nonexistent. Because of this, I have been forced to pursue legal action to recover my damages. Serious Warning to Buyers If you are considering doing business here: * Do not rely on verbal warranties * Do not assume issues will be handled after purchase * Be prepared for delays and lack of accountability Final Thoughts A seller's credibility is proven after the sale, not during it. Unfortunately, my experience showed a complete lack of responsibility when it mattered most. I strongly recommend doing thorough due diligence and considering other options before making a purchase.

    In short this boat shop does business in a very un-ethical way…read more I took my boat to them with many concerns, Mainly the boat proposing and electrical. (Note they only take cash or check, and do not take credit cards because people challenge it, which makes sense because they tell you one price and charge you thousands more.) Dana the owner walked the boat with me, seemed very knowledgeable explaining the order of repair we needed to do. ( Mechanical, Electrical, structural, then cosmetic) my boat is an older bay liner (1988), all that made sense. He quoted me $1,500.00, to do a yearly maintenance and swap out the prop and change the hub to the new square style. He said he will be in touch to give me a quote to get the Mechanical and electrical dialed in and to see if it's even a project worth doing. I get a call on speaker phone with him and his son about a week later, about how the work is coming along and they have installed a new Binnacle, gages, done wiring, and was asking for me to come down to put a deposit. Being I was confused I told them I would be down the next day so they could walk me through what was going on. (I had not given permission to do any of this work they were talking about) I met with Andy the following day, where he walked me through all the work they had done. I asked him all this work was included in the $1500.00? Long story short, He apologized acknowledging he should have called and there was a miss communication, that the boat was mechanicalyy sound, and they believed that it was good to start all the work. He was about 80% threw all the work and assured me all the mechanical work and parts were good they were waiting on the prop, and they were going to finish going threw all the electrical and if there was any further problems he would call me if they needed to do more work. The estimated total was $4,200.00. He acknowledged that I was up set that they did $2,700.00 worth of work with OUT approval, and apologized multiple times. At this point I felt it was a sincere mistake, Andy said the boat would be ready for pick up the next Monday, and he would call if any thing changed. I show up to pick up the boat, going threw it with Dana and another tech, the boat still didn't have the new prop on it, on top of that it would die when the trim was actuated (they said the new Pinical was wired in wrong) and they would need to look at it. When I went in to pay the front desk didn't have the paper work, and said it would take some time to get the paper work together. I told them I couldn't wait / come back later. That I would have to pic up the next Monday. The front desk lady emailed me the final bill and it was now $5,400.00. I called her and asked her to speak with Dana and Andy to make sure there wasn't a mistake, she said she would and get back to me. (She never did) When I showed up on Monday to pick up the boat, work was completed new prop was installed and I will say the boat ran well. The bill was the same, so I asked Dana why it was $1,200.00 dollars more than a week ago, so we went through the bill. He pointed out that things were added like a key switch and blower motors and a host of other things that were not in the second estimate of cost, and stated they tried to get it close. I explained that's not close, and that I have been very nice and understanding, but I never approved this extra work, nor did I approve the first bout of extra work. That in fact I only approved the yearly maintenance and a new prop with the new style hub. It was my hope being a business owner he would do the right thing and at the very least honor the $4,200.00. estimate since I was for a second time not notified of additional work. He refused, explaining to me "this is how its done" that additional things pop up when fixing older boats that need a lot of work, "its takes too long to call for every thing". I may be wrong, but in 18 years as an automotive mechanic, Ive never done work that wasn't approved. In my personal opinion if work is done that wasn't approved, or worked outside of the budget, the business is taking on the cost at that point. I want to be clear in this review, I am not up set with the work that was done, or the cost of the work that was done. I am up set that at no point was I called, at no point did I approve or say yes to any of the work done out side of the Maintenance, Prop and hub replacement. The sheer audacity to think it's ok, to perform over $4,000.00 worth of work with out asking, and expecting some one to be ok with it and pay that is ridiculous, and un-ethical. Beware that when you go there not only do you have to pay cash / check, you may get charged for work you never approved. It's a slimy way of doing business, I would recommend every one take their business elsewhere, to a shop that has some ethical business practice. I will be contacting the BBB, FTC, and the Arizona Attorney General reporting for unfair business practices and possible stolen

    these guys are starting to feel like family. Dana and his whole crew are extremely professional,…read morerespectful, and will go out of their way to satisfy your boating needs! whether you're a DIY guy like me, or need a shop to tackle a project for you- you can always count on Bodnar to get it done right! couldn't thank Dana and his team enough. ps: I'll see ya'll later today when I come by for more stuff!
